FLORHAM PARK, N.J. -- New York Jets wide receiver Jeremy Kerley is being suspended by the NFL for an undisclosed violation, a league source confirmed Tuesday.
This is a key loss for the Jets (3-5), who play Thursday night against the Buffalo Bills. Kerley was their No. 3 receiver and played in 55 percent of the offensive snaps over the first eight games, compiling 22 catches (fourth on the team) for 217 yards and a touchdown.
Kerley also assumed the punt-returning role in recent weeks, and his fourth-quarter muff last Sunday proved costly in a 25-20 loss to the Atlanta Falcons.
